Long description for Figure 3.16: The x-axis is labelled, Quantity and the y-axis is labelled, Price.Curve D1 is a straight line which slopes down from the top left corner to the bottom right corner.Curve D2 is parallel with curve D1, but is plotted to the left.Curve S1 is a straight line which slopes up from the bottom right corner to the top left corner.Curve S2 is parallel to curve S1, but is plotted to the left.The 4 curves intersect at 4 points; A, B, on the right side of the lines, and C and D, on the left sides of the lines
-Refer to Figure 3.16.The graph in this figure illustrates an initial competitive equilibrium in the market for motorcycles at the intersection of D₂ and S₁ (point
